Matildas superstar Sam Kerr has ensured her personal legacy will live on long beyond the World Cup, launching her own football academy schools across Australia.
Dubbed Sam Kerr Football, the aim of the move is to inspire the next generation of kids - boys and girls - aged between three and 14 to fall in love with the world game.
Kerr's manager Niki White confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that her star client is flying back to the United Kingdom on Wednesday as she prepares for another season with Chelsea in the Women's Super League competition, which kicks off on October 1.
